Appropriate Zoning and Controls: (5 points)
Zone tenant fit out of spaces to meet the following requirements:

Every solar exposure must have a separate control zone.

Interior spaces must be separately zoned.

Private offices and special occupancies (conference rooms, kitchens, etc.) must have active controls capable of sensing space use and modulating the HVAC system in response to space demand.

OR

Option 2

Reduce design energy cost compared with the energy cost budget for regulated energy components described in the requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 (with errata but without addenda1). Projects outside the U.S. may use a USGBC approved equivalent standard2.

AND

Path 1 (5 points)

Demonstrate that HVAC system component performance criteria used for tenant space are 15% better than a system in minimum compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1–2007 (with errata but without addenda1) or USGBC approved equivalent.

OR

Path 2 (10 points)

Demonstrate that HVAC system component performance criteria used for tenant space are 30% better than a system that is in minimum compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007 (with errata but without addenda1) or USGBC approved equivalent.
